  This introductory text provides a fresh problem-orientated approach to psychiatry. The selection of the contributors ensures an up-to-date and authoritative summary of each topic, and a high degree of co-ordination between them ensures consistency of style and a minimum of overlap. The distinctive style of presentation makes extensive use of diagrams and tables to highlight key information and introduce optional reading. An extensive use of case studies is made to illustrate the clinical problems and issues referred to in the text. Each chapter also includes an initial information summary sheet, sample questions and a list of recommended further reading, making it ideal for all students, MRCP candidates and those requiring an introductory text for the MRCPsych examinations. It will also be invaluable to those in the allied health professions such as social workers, psychiatric nurses and occupational therapists.

  Essential Psychiatry has been designed in a unique way giving the actual presentation of the information a high priority. Fact sheets open each chapter and provide a useful summary to orientate the reader before confronting the details of a topic; these also provide a useful aid to revision. Other features include frequent case examples and extensive use of tint boxes some containing optional or accessory information and others containing key points.
